We’re closing in on gathering 100,000 fans on Facebook and to celebrate the achievement, we’ll be giving away a free MacBook Air! Once we have 100,000 fans, we’ll randomly select one MakeUseOf reader as the winner!

It can’t be that simple, can it?

UPDATE: The winner has been picked. Congratulations, Taylor Rapids!

Lord I would be in heaven I am terminally ill housebound on oxygen. The oxygen is 500 dollars a month, I take, no kidding over 30 pills a day since I was in my 30s to stay alive. I call it existing no oh poor me but no disability and my illness has eaten away our money and even to charge a computer, I'd feel so guilty, and when they say day to day,ouch This would be heaven after this piece of garbage which won't even type right I see, would be heaven on earth! What a NICE giveaway Blessings.

Everyone has the desire to have some form of competition on Facebook, we really want to reward our fans, get more of them, get into great pictures, nice stories, give away a great prize. This is my interpretation of the rules: Unless you have written permission from Facebook and will hold the competition in a proprietary third-party application then it is not allowed.

“You will not offer any contest, giveaway, or sweepstakes (“promotion”) on Facebook without our prior written consent. If we consent, you take full responsibility for the promotion, and will follow our Promotions Guidelines and all applicable laws.”
